Currently the __uprobe_register will return 0 (success) when called with negative offset. The reason is that the call to register_for_each_vma and then build_map_info won't return error for negative offset. They just won't do anything - no matching vma is found so there's no registered breakpoint for the uprobe. I don't think we can change the behaviour of __uprobe_register and fail for negative uprobe offset, because apps might depend on that already. But I think we can still make the change and check for it on bpf multi link syscall level. Also moving the __get_user call and check for the offsets to the top of loop, to fail early without extra __get_user calls for ref_ctr_offset and cookie arrays.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
